Lil Mosey, Blueberry Faygo | Track Review 🎵

Pacific Northwest teen rapper Lil Mosey delivers a lush, certified bop with his catchy, confident single, “Blueberry Faygo.”

Lil Mosey is one of many teen rappers making a name for himself.  Honestly, rappers are getting younger and younger these days, so it’s not surprising to see ‘the kids’ working towards that highly coveted ‘come up.’  Mosey, whose really name is Lathan Moses Echols, hails from the Pacific Northwest – Seattle, Washington.  He’s had some moderate chart success, and if the catchiness of single “Blueberry Faygo” is any indication, he’s bound to have even bigger chart success sooner than later.

Folks, “Blueberry Faygo” is what you call a certified bop.  There’s plenty of pros that make this relatively short cut worth you while.  One of the first reasons why “Blueberry Faygo” earns ‘bop status’ is thanks to the production by Callan.  It’s quite lush, further fueled by a Johnny Gill sample (“My, My, My”).  This is the perfect backdrop for Lil Mosey to drop his agile, easygoing flow. No, Mosey doesn’t have the most lyrical approach – No one’s about to say “Three more hoes, pull up, I’m fucking shit” is poetic – but for whatever reason, there’s a clear draw to this youngster, who confidently brags throughout.

While the lyrics are shallow (‘hoes’ are part of the rap script, so that’s not new), Lil Mosey gets in some memorable lines.  Naturally, any references to Blueberry Faygo itself isn’t merely soda (duh), so there’s that (“Poured up a four, now that blueberry Faygo”). But there’s also that moment he plays on ‘hardness’ during the first verse: “This not my dick, lil bitch, my Glock hard.” We gotcha kiddo, we gotcha.  Of course, the crème de la crème is the chorus:

“One bad bitch and she do what I say so
Two big .40s and a big ass Draco
Three more millions when you ask how my day go
Poured up a four, now that blueberry Faygo
One false move and we straight to shootin’ shit
Two small bands just to take you out real quick
Three more hoes, pull up, I’m fucking shit
That’s how it go, big bands, I’m thumbin’ shit.”

Final Thoughts 

Is “Blueberry Faygo” life changing? No, unless you actually partake of it in the context that Lil Mosey raps about it – that could be very bad.  But otherwise, the answer is no.  This is a catchy, if shallow rap record by an up-and-coming teen rapper.  It won’t flip the game on its side, but it’s definitely worthy of spins.
